Etna Base is the only Corsair installation in the Omicron Eta system. Occupying a strategic location near the [[Omicron Theta|Theta]] jump hole, this base serves both for defense against the [[Outcasts]] and for stationing numerous Corsair raiding parties. Outcasts have already declared destruction of Etna to be the primary goal of their Omicron Eta operations, but no success was achieved so far.

After one particularly bloody battle, an Outcast hospital ship was captured by the Corsairs as it was attempting to retrieve escape pods from the battlefield. Desperate to save their dying pilots, Corsair doctors turned to the extreme measure of harvesting viable organs from the captured Outcasts on the hospital ship. The doctors speculated that the [[cardamine]] infused tissues of the Outcasts would be rejected by the Corsairs' bodies but the only alternative was to watch their comrades die. Strangely, the organs adapted much better than expected, leading to speculation that cardamine dependency was centered in the brain tissues instead of the rest of the body.

Emboldened by their success, the Corsairs began scavenging every battlefield for bodies that could be harvested to keep their injured comrades alive. Unfortunately, the demand quickly outstripped supply, and they began searching for new sources of what the doctors publicly referred to as "bio-meds". Soon, Etna Base became a prominent destination for prisoners, captured pilots, and even civilians kidnapped and sold into slavery. Once wealthy Corsairs on Crete learned of the availability of young, healthy organs, demand for the procedures quickly developed as a way to rejuvinate the sick and elderly. The Corsairs' envy over the Outcasts' increased life expectancy due to cardamine lead to an insatiable appetite for a chance at a longer, healthier life, so long as the beneficiary had enough credits to spend.

The Corsairs were unable to meet the huge demand from the limited facilities on Etna Base, so a deal was struck with a nearby independent facility to operate an additional mass organ harvesting operation. Today this operation supplies various medical facilities throughout Sirius with the human tissues necessary to replace organs failing due to sickness or old age, and provides the Corsairs and their partners with a substantial, steady stream of credits.

Etna Base is the only Corsair installation in the Omicron Eta system. Occupying a strategic location near the Lambda Jump Gate, this base serves as the main strongpoint for operations against the Outcasts in Omicron Eta. The Outcasts have attempted to destroy the base many times, but without success - the immensely dense planetary fragment is almost impervious to conventional weapons, and the Outcasts do not favor the boarding tactics readily used by the Corsairs.

Supplies are almost always in short demand at Etna. This has led to several scandals, most notable the "harvesting" of their prisoners for donor organs to treat Corsairs wounded in the fighting. When news of these atrocities reached Crete, Corsair leaders put a swift and brutal end to the practise, but the damage was already done. Many Corsair veterans now have organs in them that were afflicted by Cardamine mutations, and the long term effects of this are still unclear.
